Written specifically for Pakistani entrepreneurs with a US LLC — freelancers, agencies, and e-commerce operators receiving USD income from abroad. This is the guide nobody gives you when you register.
You paid $150. Your Wyoming LLC was formed in 10 minutes. You got your EIN. You connected Stripe. Payments started coming in. You thought you were done.
You weren't. And nobody told you that.
There's a form called Form 5472. It's required by the IRS every single year — for every foreign-owned LLC, regardless of revenue, regardless of activity, regardless of whether you've ever set foot in the United States. Most Pakistani LLC owners have never heard of it. The penalty for missing it is $25,000. Per form. Per year. Automatically. No warning letter.
Then there's the BOI Report — mandatory for every LLC since January 2024. The FBAR — required if your US bank account touched $10,000 at any point. State annual reports and fees that range from $0 to $800+ depending on where you're registered. And Stripe, Wise, Payoneer — each treated differently by the IRS depending on your entity classification.
This guide is 14 pages. It covers all of it. It cites every IRS regulation so you can verify everything yourself. It was written for Pakistani entrepreneurs — not Americans, not generic "LLC advice" — specifically for our context.
Upwork, Fiverr, direct clients — receiving USD through a US LLC. Chapter 6 covers exactly how each payment processor is classified by the IRS.
Marketing, dev, design, media buying. Multiple clients, multiple processors. Your annual filing obligations are the same regardless of revenue.
Amazon FBA, Shopify, dropshipping. Physical product sales through a US entity create additional nexus and reporting considerations covered in full.
Businesses with real turnover invoicing US clients or holding US contracts. Multi-member LLC partnership rules and Form 1065 requirements fully covered.
Form 5472 is required for every foreign-owned single-member LLC. No minimum income. No activity threshold. The moment your LLC exists and you are a non-US person, the obligation begins. The IRS assesses the $25,000 penalty automatically when the form is absent. There is no warning. There is no grace period.
This guide costs PKR 1,380 today. The penalty for not reading it starts at $25,000. Per year. Per form. The math is not complicated.
I run Abdullah Digital — a service that helps Pakistani entrepreneurs register and maintain US LLCs from abroad. I've personally handled LLC formations, EIN applications, Form 5472 filings, FBAR submissions, and BOI reports for dozens of clients.
I noticed the same pattern constantly: people would do everything right when forming their LLC, then unknowingly walk into serious IRS exposure because nobody explained what comes after. The information exists — but it's scattered across IRS.gov, legal blogs, and Reddit threads that contradict each other.
I compiled everything into one reference document verified against actual IRS law, written for our specific situation. Not for Americans. Not generic advice. For Pakistani entrepreneurs with foreign-owned US entities.
Yes. The BOI Report to FinCEN is required within 30 days of formation for any LLC formed in 2024 or later. Form 5472 and pro forma 1120 are due by April 15 of the following tax year. This guide covers exact timing based on when your LLC was formed.
Yes, unconditionally. Form 5472 has no income threshold and no activity threshold. If your LLC exists, you are a foreign person, and there was any "reportable transaction" (including capital contributions from yourself), the form is required. The $25,000 penalty applies equally to zero-income LLCs. This is the most dangerous misconception in the Pakistani LLC community.
Wise does not automatically generate a 1099-K the way Stripe does, but income received by your LLC remains your LLC's income regardless of the channel. Chapter 6 covers exactly how Wise, Stripe, Payoneer, and Mercury are treated by the IRS — including what triggers reporting and what your obligations are for each.
